For the first time in a long time, I cried.

About a year ago, my mom passed away.

She battled with diabetes complications and multiple strokes, and was in the hospital for several months. It was the most devastating moment of my life, as I'm sure you can imagine.

Last night, I read the graphic novel "I Kill Giants."

Essentially, this girl escapes life by "killing" imaginary giants and battling titans, who can't be killed. One titan, who represents her mother's cancer/death, captures her.

What he said really struck a nerve and I wept for the first time in a year, remembering how little time I spent with my mom, because I was so busy with school while she was in the hospital.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, be wary of how you spend your time. Things can happen in an instant.
